bike to work day 2013

through the foggy (non-purple) haze, you can see SF's very own new bicycle counter.

this guy just wanted to be number 1000, but he was really one of the cheerleaders near the bike counter.

from standing near the bike counter, public bikes' dan and i both noticed that the counter seemed not to be very good at counting when groups of riders passed by the counter. it also doesn't count them if they are NOT in the bike lane. the sensor is just near the bike counter.

baby steps but BIG baby steps for SF's very own bicycle counter! happy bike to work day everyone.

We had Bike to Work Week in April here in Phoenix due to the heat. Very successful but we also had some questions about undercounting, especially on the light rail. A country-wide bike count will soon be undertaken. A consultant has been hired and bike count committee is in the process of making recommendations as to what procedures to use.

I bike to work almost every day, too. You guys might want to check this out http://www.s3performance.com.au/shop/apparel/road-bike-gear/kevlar-jeans/120303, as these are really good pants for biking. They make decent office attire to boot (perfectly matches with my polo shirts).
